Welcome to Cait's place!

On the ground floor at Cait's Place, you have my hot glass studio, where I keep the torches, the kiln, the silversmithing stuff, enough raw materials to choke a goat, and my glassworker's library.

Also down here are the exercise room and two rooms worth of overflow from the library...

Heading up the stairs, you reach the main floor, where we have the kitchen. A drawer under the phone holds the maps, in case you are tired of being lost. Here you'll also find the den and the main library.

Finally, one more flight of stairs brings you to the top of the house, where my sewing room and garb storage are found. There is a closet full of fabric. Sometimes I forget what I've bought. If you're uncertain what that fabric hanging in your closet is made of, here are instructions on how to use a "burn test" for fabric identification.

The sewing room shares space with my jewelry shop. My jewelry is on sale at the Brides of the Cosmos gallery -- check it out!

This is also where I write how-to articles on various glassworking techniques, jewelry making, costuming, camp organization... if I've taught a class or written an article, eventually you'll find it here.

I'm the founder of the interkingdom glassworker's guild, La Compagnia dei Maestri del Vetro. Chartered here in Atlantia, but with members in many kingdoms, the Guild has its Atlantian webpage here.

I also have a page with links to sites with information on historic and modern glass, including various museums and exhibits I've visited, such as the Corning Museum of Glass. I'm also planning to have pics of the products of my recent venture into glassblowing, in classes I took at the Blenko Glass Factory. (No pictures of the experiments with glass fusing until they get considerably more successful.)

I did have a life before the SCA... parts of it were even interesting. At this point, outside the SCA, my most recently acquired hobby is fencing; Rhyannon and I took beginner-level lessons in Olympic-style fencing at the the DC Fencing Club. The fencing club gave me my new life motto: "If you can't learn to do something well, learn to enjoy doing it poorly."
